This thread is about Iranian foreign based TM players. Their start, success and end of career as NT and football player.

I start with a video about the days Gucci was about to join our team.

Ashkan Dejagah in Iranian-German TV back in 2008, 4 years before he joined Iranian NT.

Four years later in 90TV when he just joined the team.

Fereydoon Zandi, Iranian-German player who joined TM in 2005. He was a great player. I liked Zandi, Ali Karimi and Moharam Navid Kia in our MF. They were dangerous players.

Here is one of his earliest interview in airport back in 2006

His problems in IPL with greedy agents

Cool thread! It is fun to see those old videos again and recall what your thoughts where and your expectations, and see how they developed as players, and went from being an outsider that we didn't know much about, to sometimes being one of the most famous and liked footballers for our national team
